3-Day Sahara Desert Tour from Fes to Marrakech via Merzouga

You will wake up early to watch the sunrise over the dunes before enjoying breakfast at the camp. After breakfast, you can either camel-trek or take a 4×4 vehicle back to Merzouga village. Along the way, you’ll have the opportunity to admire the spectacular Erg Chebbi sand dunes, which change color and appearance as the light moves across the desert. After meeting your driver, you’ll continue to Rissani, Tinghir, and the spectacular Todra Gorges, famous for their towering limestone cliffs and dramatic narrow canyon. After a short hike in the gorge, we’ll drive through the Dades Valley, where you’ll see the majestic sand castles and the amazing rock formations known as “monkey toes”. Overnight accommodation will be at a hotel with dinner and breakfast included.

After breakfast, begin the final day of your journey by driving along the famous Road of a Thousand Kasbahs. Continue through the Valley of Roses and stop at Taourirt Kasbah, the former residence of the Glaoui family. Continue to Ait Benhaddou, an ancient fortified ksar and UNESCO World Heritage Site, where you will have approximately one hour to explore. Afterwards, continue for approximately four hours through the Tizi n’Tichka Pass in the High Atlas Mountains, with stops along the way. You will arrive in Marrakech at around 6:00 PM
